Club Information

Who are we?

For nearly a century, our book clubs, including Book-of-the-Month®, The Literary Guild®, Quality Paperback Book Club® and Doubleday Book Club®, have serviced millions of members, representing the largest media club businesses in the United States.

How can you offer such low prices on your books?

We promote and sell our products directly to you—our customers—avoiding the middleman. We also produce our own Club editions for most books which are full length, but sometimes altered in size to save you money.

How do I find the books I want?

It's easy—just use the search bar located at the top of our website. You can enter a title, author, series name, description, category or topic. You can also browse books by genre using the navigation located beneath the Club logo.

Do you offer a limited selection of titles?

Our Club members have access to a catalog of thousands of titles that have been thoughtfully selected by editors in tune with what you like to read. Say goodbye to browsing through shelves and clicking through screens searching for something that interests you. We do the work so that you can focus on reading great books, not searching for them!

What if I change my mind?

We guarantee your satisfaction. Your membership is risk-free. If you're not completely satisfied with your introductory package, you may return it within 20 days at our expense. Your membership will be canceled and any payments will be credited/refunded.

Will a new book be mailed to me every month?

It's up to you! You'll receive an email or catalog every 3-4 weeks (up to 20 times a year) that highlights a new book, or set of books. You can choose if you'd like to purchase any of these featured titles. However, these books will be automatically shipped to you unless you decline them. If you decide they're not for you, simply tell us by the due date provided in your Featured Selection email or on your Member Reply Form.

Can I join if I am not a resident of the United States?

Is there any difference between joining through the website or through an ad or postal mail sent to me?

No. When you become a member through the website, you'll enjoy the same benefits and savings of someone who joined through an advertisement or mailing.

Billing & Shipping

What is the total cost for my introductory books?

During the checkout process, you'll be able to review the total order amount within your cart prior to submitting your online order. In addition to the low offer price for your introductory package, you may also be charged shipping and processing, which covers all associated costs and services, including labor, materials, packaging and postage. Typical shipping and processing charges: $5.74 for the first item and $1.99 for each additional item, plus sales tax where applicable. Please note: Books that count as two selections will be billed as two separate products.

Is it safe to enter my credit/debit card or PayPal information on the website?

Yes. In addition to the security benefit of password authentication, we use Secure Server Software (SSL) to maintain the safety and privacy of your information. SSL is the industry standard and the most effective way to conduct secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit or debit card number, name and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the internet. Whenever you see a URL that begins with https://, you are using SSL. You can review our Privacy Policy for complete details.

Do I need to pay tax?

We collect taxes in states where applicable. That tax is paid to your state and/or local tax authorities. Many states require us to collect tax on the total cost of your order, including shipping and processing.

Can I have items shipped outside of the United States?

At the present time, we can only ship to individuals residing within the United States and its possessions, and those persons with APO/FPO addresses. Shipments are not sent to other locations since we cannot guarantee product delivery.
